Problem Solving Idea

My girlfriend has fibromyalgia. With this comes pain flareups almost daily. That also means that walking or standing for long periods of time become increasingly more difficult. My invention to help her is a collapsable cane / seat. The object on the left is the collapsed cane, small enough to put in a bag or purse for easy transport. The shaft then extends into a cane to ease walking pains. Beyond that, the handle extends into a seat and the shaft includes a kickstand (orange piece) to create a seat when one is not available.
